Sarasa
Chamber Music Ensemble
Dedicated to making music accessible to wider audiences
A Baroque Mosaic is the first CD recorded by the Sarasa Ensemble. The CD is a charming collection of Baroque music. Its crisp and lilting tunes bring to mind dancing Renaissance ladies or an enjoyable evening concert.
Proceeds from the CD support Sarasa's outreach programs. The CD records a Sarasa concert performed in May 2001.
